I'll get my new Samsung Epic 4G Touch tomorrow. Does their Touch Wiz interface use the same database as HTC Sense, or does anyone know how to edit what they use?

To answer my own question, I just typed in the towns I wanted, hit search, and Accuweather found them.

Some Remarks

This week, my desire to obtain these custom weather locations has lead me to this forum, and eventually to Custom ROM, S-Off, etc.

I'd like to stress here (It's somewhere on this forum, though maybe hard to find and this is probably the main topic on the subject), that if you're device is set in a different language than English, you'll have to edit two database files.

My phone (HTC sensation) is set to Dutch, so I had to edit both WP_0409WWE.db and WP_0413NLD.db. The second database file contains the same entries as the first, except for the fact that the city/country names are translated (the "name" and "country" columns differ).

For example, Paris/France would be Parijs/Frankrijk in Dutch. If you're adding multiple cities, note that entry no. n in the first database file should correspond to entry no. n in the second database file.

So add them in the same order.

Besides, this proves that in the "name/country" column you can fill in anything you want, and that the weather code is really all that matters.

The best place to find these codes is definitely on the netweather.accuweather.com site, google it (I can't post links ;) ). Fill out the forms, and you'll find the location code somewhere in the html code that you obtain.

I hope these additional remarks will be helpful to someone.

EDIT: I made an app that makes all this a lot easier
[EVO 4G General] ebc1973:
I don't really want to add a city, rather I want to delete data. If I am not in a city that is recognized, I am either given Current Location, or 1 as the city. Both drive me insane! I would rather it just say the name of the state. Is there a way to delete the Current Location Entry and the Number 1 from showing up as the name of the city? Or can I rename the Current Location and 1 descriptions with the name of my State instead?

[Android Software Development] smaskell:
Hello,

I have a service that is running at all times. When it receives a certain intent I want it to pass this along to an activity that I have so that the activity can be updated. However, I don't want to resume the activity if it is stopped/paused. If the activity is stopped, I want it to stay that way and then I'll just check my content provider when the user chooses to return to that activity. Sending this intent seems to automatically end up calling onStart and onResume and bring the activity back into focus. So I'm wondering if there is a way to only send the intent if the activity is already running. Also, if this is not possible, are there any other suggestions you guys have?

I figured there would some flag I could add to the intent to make it do what I want but I haven't found anything useful.

There's even a question about this in the developer.android.com faq but the answer is not very helpful.

Than you so much,

Samuel Maskell

Edit: Removed explanation as to why the post is somewhat vague. See below.
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
You drew so much more attention to your potentially "secret" project by saying all that. If you had just given your question with a little context and not mentioned all that people would understand it and answer without thinking anything of it
[Android Software Development] smaskell:
well I wrote the post and felt that it was a little vague so I added a sentence to explain why. I'm not trying to draw attention to it. I don't feel like the post is hard to follow at all but perhaps I will remove the stuff about the project and keep it solely about the problem.

And please don't take this the wrong. I feel like what I just said sounds really bitter but I'm just trying to explain myself.

A sales person from AT&T noticed a accessory that referred to something about a dock with a promo price. It was $1. Part #09236. I had him go ahead and ship it. I have no idea what it is.

Any clues?

Keep us informed, curious what it could be.

I ordered it as well, through the same manner...called in and asked what accessories they had, that popped up as a "dock" (the only one beside the laptop I might add) and I ordered it because the customer service rep immediately said "and of course I'll waive the 5.99 shipping!"

That was on the 22nd. The order status page backorded it a few days ago, then cancelled =/

yes, it should. Good luck getting it unlocked though.

Has anyone else had trouble with the VPN on the Atrix?

The issue I have is that, my VPN connects, and indicates it is connected, however once connected I cannot ping any computers on the other side of the VPN. (I can however ping the VPN gateway) And I cannot get my company email.

I have encryption enabled, without it enabled it will not connect. I searched around and people had similar problems with the droid X, but the only solution I found was to install pppd from the SDK over the one on the phone. I tried this but got the exact same results.

My phone is rooted, and I can ssh into it, I also have the SDK and can get an adb shell. I will happily upload any logs or iptables that will aid someone in helping me solve this. Just give me the commands and I'll show you what it outputs.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] harolds:
Sounds like a DNS issue, try pinging the computers by their IP address.
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
Same problem here. This is the first GSM Android phone that I have ever tested that has this problem and I have tested nearly all of the good ones.
[Atrix 4G General] jsylvia007:
I'm thinking on moving from my blackberry (which has served me well, but just isn't as dynamic as i need it to be) to an ATRIX.

I had a Samsung Captivate for about 3 days, and returned it because I couldn't get VPN to work.

During my research, I came across this on the web...

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4706

(Can't link, too new here just put http in front)

It looks like PPTP VPN Is BROKEN in Android and Google refuses to do a thing about it.

I have a PPTP VPN Server setup on Windows 2003, A separate one on 2008, one on Ubuntu Linux, and also one on a m0n0wall router. NOT A SINGLE ONE WORKS with Android, but has no issues with any other platform.

I hope they get their act together. I need to find someone with Gingerbread out there who can see if maybe they fixed it on 2.3.
[Atrix 4G General] gwoozy:
I have this also, and have worked my way up past AT&T 2nd & 3rd level support, was passed to Motorola support, worked up through 2nd and 3rd level, and currently have an assigned "support engineer."

He confirmed they have a known bug in their VPN stack filed in their bug tracking system, but no fix release date listed yet.

In reading through a logcat from a failed VPN session I found one of the services crashed with a dump when I disconnected, and that got their attention - I couldn't tell what it meant, but the engineer was impressed with whatever it said, and sounded a bit miffed they hadn't caught the bug before release.

I tried this on the display model in an AT&T store, and got the same result, proving it wasn't just my phone or a side effect of rooting.
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
Man, thanks gwoozy! Somebody with some free time I guess. Hopefully they'll fix this ASAP.

I never had any success with PPTP with any CDMA droids but every GSM droid I've ever tried worked flawless except sadly the Atrix.

Thanks again for doing the leg work bro.

Joe
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
I haven't had much luck in the past with PPTP on android while using wap.cingular APN. It worked just fine though when I used isp.cingular via my BB SIM. YMMV
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
But if you're on WiFi then the APN doesn't matter so I don't think the wap.cingular could be an issue.

I do remember those days when the isp.cingular and wap.cingular did make the difference for VPN to work or not.

Joe
[Atrix 4G General] gwoozy:
To follow up, as I see several other people have this same problem - Motorola support does not have a fix, and has no idea if they will EVER have a fix. They are mystified as to what the problem is, and could only point to a Google/Android bug:

code.google.com android project issue 4706

(I can't post external links yet)

which isn't what we are reporting. However, I could see this kind of behavior once I did this:

Root the phone (I know, but the Motorola Level 3 support person working my case suggested it)

Modify the routing tables after connecting to VPN (via an adb shell, su to root)

I had to add a route for the ppp gateway interface - Moto's kernel/Android code didn't make that one

Delete spurious routes for the VPN interface

Add a specific route for the network behind the VPN

Then I could ping an IP address behind the VPN connection and see a response, and even resolve names via the DNS server behind the VPN.

HOWEVER - as soon as I tried to do anything from Android, instead of the command line, such as open a web page in the browser hosted on the server I was currently pinging, everything stopped working - no packet traffic any more.

DNS - fail. PING - suddenly stopped reporting received packets, when it had been chugging along just fine.

That may be the Android bug above, I don't know. But I had to modify the IP routing tables to even see that.

So I will have to trade the Atrix in tomorrow for an HTC. Not worth any more of my time.

I miss Cyanogenmod 6 (which I have on my old G1), running Android 2.2.1 with kernel 2.6.35. Never any problems with that. interesting that free/open has been more stable and error-free for me than a company with a 30-year history with mobile phones.
[Atrix 4G General] GSeeker:
I can't get PPTP or L2TP VPN work on Atrix 4G, that's strange.:(
[Atrix 4G General] chike99:
I can't get PPTP VPN to work on the Dell Streak running Froyo. It connects to the host but no data flow. L2TP works fine.
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
VPN working for me after the new update.

Anyone else?
[Atrix 4G General] joemommasfat:
Yes, I can confirm it is working now
[Atrix 4G General] jsylvia007:
Interesting. I have the update and PPTP vpn still doesn't work for me. Granted it stays connected and works for about 20-30 seconds, but then all traffic fails.

I'm trying to connect to a m0n0wall, and a Windows Server 2003 RAS.

Either way, same result on both. What are you connecting to?
[Atrix 4G General] humzat:
Pptp VPN works for me now too on 1.57
[Atrix 4G General] jsylvia007:
Are either of you rooted?
[Atrix 4G General] krkeegan:
I am rooted and on 1.57 and PPTP VPN works for me too. I doubt rooted has anything to do with it though.
[Atrix 4G General] jsylvia007:
Yea, I doubt that rooting has anything to do with it as well. Guess I'll keep looking into it.
[Atrix 4G General] jpasint:
I am not rooted.

same here on new sgs ii..

back to using my sgs i as my daily driver as it works fine there with 2.2.1 froyo.

[Atrix 4G General] barius:
Hi!

I'm on ATT 2.3.4, Alien #3, and I think - not sure though - I've worked it out.

Taken someone else's advice, I simply deleted the VPN rule in the phone settings, re-added it and the VPN turned out to be fine.

Hope it works for you, too!
[Atrix 4G General] newalopez:
ATT 2.3.4 and isn't working for me :(
[HD Mini General] Stouffer:
Probably a bit of a long shot this but is there anyone out there using an O2 branded HTC HD Mini, has just upgraded to the official ROM version 1.38.206.4 and trying to run Copilot Live8 version 8.2.0.407 with European maps?

Since the ROM upgrade, 2 issues have surfaced. The first is that screen orientation refuses to use the device settings and defaults to portrait.

The second occurs when navigating and a 'clear turn' situation arises. Just before the turn, up pops this little horror - *General alloc error. There is not enough memory to run CoPilot. CoPilot will will now quit*. It quits and when you re-start, it opens in 'Safety view'! Disable 'Clear turn' and it continues navigating with no errors.

I've tried a hard reset and clean install of CoPilot (on the advice of HTC) which made no difference whatsoever despite being back to factory settings and bare bones.

I've tried just about everything and I am in dialogue with both companies and getting nowhere fast. Can anyone give me some idea as to what might possibly be going on here?

Many thanks,

Andy.

the updat worked fine for me :)

you could try taking the phone back were u got it from and just say it messed up on its phone :p
[Android Apps and Games] Der_Caveman:
Hi!

My problem:

I changed some of my mp3s with my desktop computer, deleted the files on the sdcard and copied the new files over again.

The player listed all files twice then.

After that I renamed the folder on the sdcard using open explorer on the phone.

Now I have got all files tripled...:mad:

I tried rebooting, wiping cache + dalvik cache, unmounting and remounting the sdcard in preferences, SDrescan from market and Rescan Media Root from market- nothing worked :eek:

Which file is holding the "scan information"?

That's pretty annoying!

TIA,

Der_Caveman
[Android Apps and Games] Der_Caveman:
Ok- got it.

I deleted the old files with windows and windows created a /Recycled folder on the sdcard.

Androids media scanner scanned this too...
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
Lol, well done for working it out! That would have driven me bonkers.

Good to know for future reference :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Real annoying. I try different custom roms to see if it is fixed but i think clearly it is ANOTHER BUG with 2.3.3? and the list goes on lol.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
can you please elaborate on the music bug?

what do you mean by breaking the music into 4 chunks?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
I thought I was clear enough. There are some albums that are in one folder than you have some that are in 3 or 4 folders instead of one
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
edit your MP3 tags

that will put them all into the same folder
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
Yeah you need to make sure both Album Artist and Artist are the same in your MP3 tag.. I had the same problem when updated to 2.3.3
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
I noted this as well. Seems to be a bug with media server. (N1 with CM7)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Ill get to that when I get home
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholasbgr:
This is what he meant:

It splits my albums in two. The ID3Tags are all consistent and it only happens with a couple of albums, not all of them. I spent some considerable time analyzing my ID3Tags but I could not find anything wrong with them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e30ernest:
I have the same problem after updating to 2.3.3. I couldn't find anything wrong with the ID3 tags of the files. Things I've tried:

Cleared the music application data.

Copied the album name and artist name from one of the songs in that album to all the ID3 tags of the songs in that album.

Replaced all album art in the ID3 tags to a fresh image to all songs in that album.

Included CD numbers and track numbers on ID3 tags.

Removed composer credits on ID3 tags.

The albums are still split.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikuikuiku:
Same happened to me.

I tried importing to ipod via itunes but got the same problem.

So it seems the problem is indeed with the ID3 tags.

I tried checking the tags, fixing 1 by 1.

Nothing helped really.

Finally I just rewrote all the common ID3 tags with mp3tag (besides track name and number), and it was fixed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oXunknownXo:
Well, just found how to fix the bug.

I tried checking all the tags with iTag for android but everything was ok, so i downloaded mp3 tag for windows and noticed something interesting.

In one of those duplicated albums(Alesha Dixon - The Alesha Show) i noticed that everything whas the same except Album Artist, which was empty in the separated one and didn't appeared in iTag, i put the same artist and 1,2,3,.. for the tracks and got it fixed:

The thing is, in 2.3.2 it only reads Artist and Album but in 2.3.3 it also reads Album Artist, if it is empty or all the songs have the same artist everything is ok, but if there is something different then it will split that album
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awesome_Aleks:
For those people on Android V2.3.3, does the Album Artist tag correctly, i.e. it won't take the album artist as being the artist of every track on the CD?

This happened on the X10 and the Galaxy S on Android V2.1 and it's quite frustrating for me.

For example.

A compilation mixed by "Artist A" (this is who I tag as the Album Artist) will cause a song made by "Artist B" to appear as "Artist A"'s song.

This issue looks like it could cause a world of hurt for my tagging method...or perhaps it will make the Album Artist appear correctly on the album when going through the library and the Artist itself appear correctly when going through the player which is something I've always wanted.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
If you have been following Cyanogen on Twitter you will see that he is working on merging 2.3.3 into CM7. http://twitter.com/cyanogen/status/42355275310706688 Besides the NFC improvements( Which don't affect us) what do you guys think he is planning on adding?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
Lol, ofcourse cyanogen is going to update cm7 to 2.3.3. Hes good at keeping current.

I just dont get why nfc doesnt apply to the slide. I dont think it needs special hardware
[myTouch 3G Slide General] iDaZzLeFatHoeZz:
I am pretty sure it needs to have a certain Bluetooth frequency, which I know for sure the Nexus S has.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarist5122:
After doing some reading, nfc is different from straight bluetooth. The frequencies are WAY different. So my guess is that out bluetooth radio wasnt built to operate out of the standard 2.4-2.5Ghz frequency.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] topnomi:
Nightly 11 is 2.3.3!!!

one major i thing i heard that 2.3.3 was supposed to fix was the random reboots, i've gotten them before on my slide, and my dad's incredible does it sometimes. no reboots since i updated *crosses fingers*
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
Sadly I would go with a non sense rom if I could use Flash. Maybe when flash 10.2 and Ice Cream hit... but I'll probably on a different phone by then.

isnt the new CM7 RC 2 2.3.3?

thats what im running.

anyone notice that the browser is running slow? its noticeably slower than the CM6.

maybe its just me?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] brianstk:
Yes CM7RC2 is 2.3.3. Browser works normal for me. But GPS doesn't at all. Having issues with wifi too. It will only work after I reset the phone and even then will only work for about an hour or so before it will crap out completely.

Other then that its solid. No FCs at all. Great battery life and fast.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] krapt0:
same with me also. wifi is alittle buggy right now. other then that it is great.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MattyXXL:
Ive been running cm7 for about 3 days now and have had no issues what so ever, Wifi issues were fixed for me by reflashing the radio, the only thing I wish it had was HTC sense.

I tried using GingerSense5122-Alphav2 and I love it... aside from the bugs including NO wifi yet... but once it is complete It will most likely be my ROM of choice..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Emerl:
GingerSense is really nice...cant wait for a bugless (or almost bugless) release.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ss622:
whats gingersense?

also, does anyone elses dock tray (where the phone, contacts, and pull app tray out button) just randomly disappear?

it disappears 2-3 times a day and the only way its back it if i turn the phone off.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sbofen:
I noticed if you drag from the bottom of the screen up, it will hide/unhide it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Famicomboy:
Might be a noob issue, but every time I've flashed CM7, it won't boot. Just stays there on the Cyanogen boot screen forever. I clear my cache and all that before I install the ROM, but I have yet to get it to load CM7 RC2. I used CM6 just fine but this refuses to load. Any suggestions?
